There are a dozen other Republican choices who would have at least brought the same exact numbers. This is not a good argument to proceed into. If you asked me about the timing of this...Palin would have been better off without the national stage until 2012 and she’d have more accomplishments to talk about as governor of Alaska. In this case, Bush is absolutely right.
McVain’s campaign was DOA until Sarah Palin came on the scene.
I don’t know what GW may or may not have said but this unsourced article smacks of .... Karl Rove.
I’m sick of bush rove frist lott graham etc.
Maybe he’s right, afterall when Palin ran for Vice President, the only office she had held before the start of the campaign was in the State Senate and she won that election by getting her opponent disqualifed from the ballot. She had zero executive experience and had never even run a major state agency, she attended a racist church for twenty years and openly admitted to seeking out Marxists and having a Marxist mentor. She also wrote a book chock full of racist quotes and tidbits.
Oh, wait that wasn’t Palin that was Obama and I’m sure Bush and every major media talking head in the country considered him very qualified. By any objective standard, Palin would be a political rock star, if she would only start spouting neo-marxist liberal platitudes. But since she is a rock-ribbed conservative, she will be called a dunce (Like Reagan before her). And even though she is much more articulate than Obama, she will be compaired to the orally challenged G.W. Bush and the left and the RINO’s will line up to say she lacks “Gravitas” like they did for Bush II. And the only reason they get away with it is because we let them.
“There are a dozen other Republican choices who would have at least brought the same exact numbers. This is not a good argument to proceed into.”
No one could or can currently bring in the people and cash that Palin commands.
